So my point is, gun laws mostly hurt legal abiding people and a criminal is going to find an illegal gun or if not use a gun, a car, a knife or a hammer. Bad people flat out are going to be bad.

They need to figure out how to keep bad people from doing bad things. If a person thinks by getting rid of ALL guns would stop acts of violence, look at France. We have a bigger issue.
